An adjudication against three sisters, heirs-portioners, whereof two renounced to be heir, found null as to the third of the sisters not renouncing, and restricted to the debt in the decreet cognitionis causa; as to which it was sustained; but, thereafter, January 27, 1682, the Lords sustained it only as a real security for the principal sum, annual-rent, and necessary expenses, and not for accumulations; and found, that it could not expire, though no order were used.
